And I’m sure this is especially true this year as people who are confined to their homes sit there staring at their to-do list. And though there are many projects that do-it-yourselfers can take care of on their own, there are other projects that really need a professional to step in, such as tree services. Chris Lane Enterprises, LLC is just the business to call on when it comes to taking down unhealthy trees, limbing, pruning, stump grinding, spring and fall clean-ups, or anything else tree- related. “Now that people are home more often, they are seeing things that need to get done around the house,” says Chris Lane, the owner and opera- tor of this local “essential” business. “We are here for your tree care needs through all of this. We will be perform- ing social distancing and complying with any needs of our clientele to keep everybody safe and healthy.” He continues: “Tree removal can be very risky, depending on the tree size and proximity to buildings, power lines, or roads. Approximately 36,000 people per year are treated in hospitals due to chain saw injuries. Getting large trees down safely and efficiently is bet- ter left to those who are qualified and have the necessary equipment.” Trees need to be removed for vari- ous reasons, such as disease, storm damage, age, or if the tree is too large for its surroundings. But sometimes a property owner isn’t sure whether a tree needs to be removed or not, or even have an inking on how much it would cost. Fortunately, Lane provides free estimates with no obligations. Chris Lane Enterprises has earned a rock-solid reputation for profes- sionalism, honesty, and integrity and follows the highest tree care industry standards. Safety comes first and fore- most to this team and all proper safety precautions are used. Edward Solomon (L) and Brett Russell (R) of Chris Lane Enterprises finished a pruning job on this tree that has an 18.4-foot circumference and is 6.5 feet across! It is believed to be the third largest Sycamore tree in New Hampshire. Chris Lane Enterprises ~ For All Tree Service Needs Quality Service, Quality Results Grey Tees Help Community Support Businesses Household Hazardous Waste Collection Dates Announced The dates for Spring Household Hazardous Waste Collections in area towns have been announced. This is an opportunity to clean out toxic wastes from base- ments, work benches, garages, and cupboards. All collections will be held at the Keene Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, located adjacent to the Keene Recycling Center at 55 Old Summit Road in Keene from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The collection takes around 10 minutes, and is sponsored by the City of Keene. Do not mix products, and the limit is 10 gal- lons per household per collection. The dates are Saturdays, April 11th, April 25th, May 9th, May 23rd, June 6th, and June 20th, and Wednesdays, April 15th, May 13th, and June 10th. Bring products marked toxic, poison, corrosive, irritant, hazardous, flammable, or danger. If you think it’s hazardous, bring it. Do not bring empty containers (can be recycled), latex paint, ammunition, fireworks, radioactive materials, make-up, and toiletries. Containers must be labeled as to their contents. No containers larger than 10 gallons will be accepted. While they are there, folks can check out the new reuse center for items such as good quality paint or various cleaning products. These are perfect for small jobs and are free. For more details, call 603-352-5739. Cheshire Medical Center Reaches Out To Community Vacuum Store’s Wipe-It Kits Offer A Handy Cleaning Solution Bulldog Design in Keene has launched The Great Grey Tee Project to help support local businesses as well as its own employees. Bulldog is printing the lo- gos of local businesses and organizations on the front of grey tees, with “community support team, grey tee project member” printed on the sleeve. Though the shirts are basic, they are unique considering that many of the businesses do not normally sell a branded shirt. This project is a way for the community to support many family-owned businesses during this difficult time. Orders will be taken weekly Monday through Sunday. “We are going to run this online store con- tinuously and print the orders weekly,” it says on the project site. The shirts cost $19, and $10 go directly to the business or non-profit the shirt is from, to help them support their staff. The remainder goes to the team at Bulldog to cover materials and labor. There are over 200 different T-shirts to choose from and more are being added every day. Free curbside pick-up is offered at Bulldog during operating hours, or orders can be shipped. To order a grey tee, or for more details visit https://greyteeproject.itemorder.com/sale?read_ message=true. For sizing questions call 603-352-7217 or email [email protected] prior to ordering. Cheshire Medical Center has reached out to the community for help in securing scrubs and N95 filtering facepiece respirators. Ideally, anyone providing direct patient care should change into scrubs upon entering the campus and change before leaving. The risk of transmission from clothing is small, but they would like to mini- mize the risk as much as possible. Other types of acceptable respirators include: a R/P95, N/R/P99, or N/R/P100 filtering facepiece respirator; an air-purifying elastomeric (e.g., half- face or full-face) respirator with appropriate filters or cartridges; powered air purifying respirator with high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filter; or supplied air respirator. Donations can be dropped at the west entrance of the hospital (follow the signs) on Mondays, Wednes- days, and Fridays from 9 to 10 a.m. and 1 to 2 p.m. In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pan- demic, cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting products have been flying off of shelves, leaving many consum- ers scrambling. In response to rapidly-diminishing supplies, John and Terri Boudreau, owners of The Vacuum Store in Keene, have created a do-it-yourself wipe kit. Us- ing special heavy duty paper, much stronger and longer lasting than common paper towels, 40 sheets are packaged in a Ziplock bag. “Our customers pick the cleaner or disinfectant that they want,” explains John Boudreau, “and we show them how to add the cleaning agent, to make their own cleaning cloths, suitable for any surface where they’d ordinarily use a regular paper towel.” With his store stocked with a wide range of power- ful commercial cleaning agents, Boudreau instructs customers on the available products and their effec- tiveness. Ask him the difference between sanitizers and disinfectants, and he’ll tell you that sanitizers reduce bacteria on a surface by at least 99.9%, dis- infectants kill a wider range of microorganisms and require a stronger solution, and common household cleaners, by comparison, simply remove dirt, soils, and impurities from surfaces. A Sign Of Spring In The Garden The crocus seems a sign of hope in the winter- weary garden. It offers a taste of spring with bright colors appearing through old fallen leaves. It is seen by many as a symbol – the cold and dreary days will end, and spring will come again.
